As a symbol of the explosion of Chinese manufacturers in the world, Lenovo has unveiled a revolutionary smartphone – Smart Cast. Equipped with a laser projector, you can project a second screen on any surface.
Mobile devices incorporating projectors are not legion. We know the Samsung Galaxy Beam eg for smartphones or Tablet Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro for tablets. Lenovo, precisely, has unveiled the Smart Cast, a revolutionary smartphone incorporating the smallest projector market (34 x 26 x 5 mm).
“Yes, well, a built-in projector that’s not really a revolution,” you say. If he is content to deport the smartphone image as the Galaxy Beam, okay, it’s not a revolution. But what Lenovo offers goes beyond mere projection.
The projector is equipped with bulbs like most projectors but a combination of LEDs and lasers that allow the user to enjoy a second projected screen anywhere. Whether on a wall, on a table or desk, the projector is rotating and thus allows increased usage.
To project an image on a table for example, the smartphone is equipped with a kickstand to place it vertically and thus projecting a second screen on the table. And the best is that the user can interact with the display as if it were a second touchscreen.
For example, the user can view a piece of sheet music on their smartphone screen and display on the projected screen on the table a piano, which he can play! What a dream is not it?
For now, it is only a concept but no doubt that Lenovo will push its reflection through both uses can then be varied.
